It’s only the first day of November, but retailers are already marking down everything from running shoes to Dutch ovens in anticipation of Black Friday. After spotting discounts as high as 70%, we couldn’t help but throw together a list of the 12 best early Black Friday deals on kitchen and workout essentials at retailers like REI, Williams Sonoma and Lululemon. While there will certainly be many more sales to come, we worry these All-Clad frying pans, Hoka sneakers and KitchenAid hand mixers will sell out if you wait too long.

Target discounted the Ninja Foodi by $80. Hunting for a razor-sharp knife? Nordstrom marked down a Cuisine::pro santoku model by 70%. Read on to shop more must-have deals before they sell out.
OXO Good Grips Swivel Vegetable Peeler
Amazon
From potatoes to butternut squash, there’s likely to be a lot of peeled vegetables in your near future. To make quick work of thick-skinned gourds and slippery tubers, grab OXO’s wildly popular vegetable peeler while it’s on sale at Amazon. With more than 44,000 five-star ratings due to its soft grip and sharp blade, it’s not surprising that one shopper described using it as “effortless.”
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Running Shoe
Brooks
The Adrenaline is Brooks’ longest-existing running shoe line. Given its lengthy lifespan, it’s not surprising that it’s the go-to sneaker for hundreds of Brooks-wearing runners and walkers. With its soft cushioning and supportive GuideRails technology—firm pieces of foam on either side of the heel to keep your shins and feet aligned—it’s easy to see why so many people swear by the Adrenaline GTS 24s.
Hoka Kawana 2 Sneaker
Hoka
Hoka sneakers are famous for their “cloud-like” cushioning. Whether we’re walking or running, we love that our feet don’t feel the impact of the hard roads we’re traversing. Now that the brand discounted its Kawana 2 sneakers by more than $40, we’re excited to add this breathable shoe to our collections. It’s both responsive and supportive, making it the ideal pick for short runs outside and intense gym workout sessions inside.
Bee’s Wrap Beeswax Wraps
Amazon
Say goodbye to toxic, single-use plastic wrap and hello to reusable beeswax wraps. These work just as well as the former to preserve leftovers and lemon halves, without shedding dangerous amounts of microplastic particles into your food. Simply wrap one of the sheets around a bowl or piece of fruit, use the warmth of your hands to create a seal, then rinse it clean with soap and cold water when you’re through. While we never use these to store raw meat for food safety reasons, we happily use them for pretty much everything else.
Le Creuset Signature 8-Quart Enameled Cast-Iron Oval Dutch Oven
Williams Sonoma
Soup and stew season is here, which means it’s time to pull out your trusty, heavy-bottomed pot for all of your simmering, braising and boiling needs. If you don’t have one, now is an excellent time to act because Williams Sonoma marked down the Le Creuset Signature 8-Quart Enameled Cast-Iron Oval Dutch Oven by $175. Once you buy a Le Creuset, you’ll understand why we call it our favorite splurge model.
All-Clad D3 Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Williams Sonoma
Like Le Creuset, All-Clad is an expensive kitchen brand that is actually worth the money. The brand’s non-toxic, stainless steel skillet will last for decades because it doesn’t have a delicate nonstick coating to scratch or damage. With its remarkable heat retention, you’ll be impressed at how beautifully your food browns.
Lululemon Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie
lululemon
Lululemon’s scuba sweatshirt is the perfect light layer. While it definitely won’t keep you warm during a snowstorm (unless you wear it under the brand’s puffer jacket), it’s the ideal thickness when fall and spring hit. Thousands of Lululemon shoppers describe it as “cozy,” “soft,” “stylish” and even “plush,” meaning you can’t go wrong with this comfortable, functional sweatshirt.
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
lululemon
The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag accompanies us on every walk and errand, faithfully holding our keys, cell phones, headphones and wallets. We also love that we can adjust the strap to fit around our hips or our chest, depending on our outfit that day.
The North Face Dawnstrike Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket
REI
Winter is coming, and, depending on where you live, it’s bringing freezing temperatures and large snowflakes with it. Whether you enjoy skiing down a mountain or lounging near a fire with a cup of hot chocolate in hand, you’re going to want a warm parka—and nothing fits the bill quite like The North Face Dawnstrike Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket. It can’t protect you from White Walkers, but it will keep you warm and dry in inclement weather.
Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor 5 ‘Try Me’ Santoku Knife
Nordstrom
Barring a few differences, a Japanese santoku knife is so similar to a Western chef’s knife, it’s almost interchangeable. It’s a multifunctional blade that can slice, chop and dice with the best of them, making it a great general-purpose knife for most kitchen tasks. Don’t miss your chance to acquire one now that Nordstrom has marked down Cuisine::pro’s model by 70%.
Ninja Foodi 8-Quart Air Fryer
Target
The Ninja Foodi is one of our favorite air fryers here at EatingWell. While we appreciate its two baskets and six preset functions, we’re most fond of its “smart finish” setting, which keeps food from getting cold by setting the baskets to finish cooking at the same time. Talk about dinner made easy.
KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer
Amazon
Holiday baking will be here before you know it. To prepare for this multi-day whipping, whisking and mixing extravaganza, grab a hand mixer while it’s on sale. No matter if you’re whipping cream for pumpkin pie or whisking egg whites for a meringue-topped sweet potato casserole, you’ll be happy you have one of these powerful and compact appliances on hand.
